| LOCAL MUSIC!
XiL is a group of washed up punk rockers coming together to make some sweet 90's inspired alternative vomit pop. We write story rich music that explores the concepts of life, love, loss, god, death, the devil, and the great lengths we go through to just escape. We are looking at trying to write several conceptual projects exploring these ideas during our career as a band. The first of which being our recently released EP, "If I Should Live Forever, Then Know That I Am Dead Inside. More XiL: https://thebandxil.bandcamp.com/ |

|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio: Canadian Emcee, Songwriter and Ottawa Arts Council x RBC 2020 Emerging Artist Award recipient MO, delivers Debut Ep as ASUQUOMO. From an interdisciplinary background in the arts, he maintains an unmistakable and unique dexterity in both visual and auditory storytelling. His rise to prominence in the Canadian hip-hop scene and highly energetic stage presence has earned him opening slots for the likes of Nigerian superstar Wizkid, Grammy nominated Burna Boy; as well as, sharing stages with Toronto’s Jazz Cartier, Lido Pimienta, Montreal’s Shay Lia, Cadence Weapon, Kimmortal, BROCKHAMPTON and Kodie Shane. Asuquomo debuted his first single Wide Awake at the Blue Crane Agency, an Afrofest Showcase at Canadian Music Week, in the Spring of 2019. "...Asuquomo’s latest EP is titled after a neighborhood in his home country, Nigeria, and it has the warmth of a family reunion. Though Diobu is more rooted in Afrobeat than Asuquomo’s past releases, he remains deeply invested in the immigrant experience within his current city, Ottawa..." - Madison Bloom for Pitchfork Staff Picks More Asuquomo here: https://asuquomo.com/ Apt613 video of the week: https://apt613.ca/video-of-the-week-feel-at-home-by-asuquomo/ |
| Incantations Grand Malheur - s/t
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Grand Malheur, which translates as “misfortune” in French, is the instrumental doom metal project of local musician Cory Levesque who is best know for playing guitar in punk bands (Fresh Hell and Jon Creeden and the Flying Hellfish) and country/folk groups (Jon Becker and the North Fields and his solo acoustic music). Self-described as “Blasphème Instrumental” (instrumental blasphemy), Grand Malheur is heavy, dark, gloomy and the perfect soundtrack to spring showers or late night summoning circles.
